However, if you believe you will just have about 600 status points credited for the entire calendar year of 2026, it wouldn't make much of a difference. Based on my understanding, you will be upgraded to GO on 01JAN2027 if you credit about 600 status points during the entire calendar year of 2026, but you will stay SL before then anyway. Even if you credited more than 300 (but less than 600) status points in your mid-Jan. 2026 to Dec. 31st membership "year," you will still be SL.
Yeap, thanks. I am a highly valued GR once more 🫡. Your plan matches my idea - I will retro claim for SL in Jan, let it reset, retro the rest. I have further flying so I might be right on the boundary for 600 again by end of H1, good potential for GO in H2; getting some rollover benefit for 2027 as well (based on the example given by CX).
